Black Lacquer Nightstand

This early 20th-century square table was once used as a display stand for incense, flowers, or precious objects. The table has a simple, clean form, decorated only with hoof feet, a latticework shelf, and a waisted apron subtly carved with bats, traditional symbols of happiness. Fitted with two shelves in lieu of stabilizing stretchers, this display stand is perfect as a versatile nightstand.
